Issue 2 of Wyrd Daze is now available, so it’s time to showcase some of the delights to be found within this month’s package…

Freelance illustrator and editor Mahendra Singh brings us a peek into The Dream Book of Mr Pyridine, a most deliriously useful and entertaining device for interpreting dreams…

There’s a fascinating in-depth interview with musician and academic Phil Legard, and an extensive compilation of his music under the name Xenis Emputae Travelling Band.

Elsewhere in the zine there’s great music articles by Michael Holland and Jason Simpson, poetry and photography by Kip, stories by Eilleen Mary Holowka and Clare Appplegate, interviews with Matt Bower of Wizards Tell Lies and Dave Fleet of LAICA, another account of Melmoth the Wanderer by Jim Peters, further fragments from The Fife Psychogeographical Collective, and video courtesy of Joseph Curwen.

Household of Hellequin is a collaboration between my alter ego The Ephemeral Man and Quebecoise electronic artist Rebecca Lagueux – we have contributed a track to this month’s Wyrd Daze EP called Harii, which is from a forthcoming EP.

The wondrous illustration above was contributed byEmma-Jane Rosenburg, and serves as the zine’s inner cover.

I’ve compiled a 34 page sampler PDF of the zine to give you an idea of what’s inside. (The full zine has 66 pages)

The video embedded below is “An audio visual disintegration rendition of Erik Saties vexations” by Black Classical, part of a larger package that also includes audio files and pictures – included in the Wyrd Daze Issue 1 download.

And in case you missed it on launch day, I’ve embedded the Wyrd Daze Podcast again below, which features music and three audio dramas: a spoof horror called The Crimson Executioner, weird tale The Instructor written and performed by Joshua Levesque, and part one of post apocalyptic sci-fi Silent Streets: The Awakening by CS

I leave you with one of the photographs provided byDavid Southwell that are scattered throughout Issue 1 of the zine.
